In this episode, I’m joined by Chris McDonald — Holistic Therapist, Yogi, Meditation Teacher, Author, and founder of The Yoga in Therapy Collective. Chris empowers therapists to integrate yoga and somatic practices into their clinical work in ways that are ethical, grounded, and deeply supportive for both therapist and client.

We talk about:

• How yoga and somatic practices can transform the therapy experience
• Why community and support are essential for therapists
• The barriers many therapists face when weaving yoga into sessions — and how to move past them with confidence
• Chris’s vision for creating sustainable, supportive spaces where therapists can thrive

✨ Chris is relaunching The Yoga in Therapy Collective in early October 2025 — a supportive membership space to help therapists confidently and ethically bring yoga into their work. Inside you’ll find:

• A like-minded, supportive community where you can ask questions and get guidance
• Ongoing monthly MasterClasses
• A monthly Case Consultation group
• An on-demand library of yoga practices designed specifically for therapists
